will brushing teeth with this damage tooth enamel?

I have used it several times and have not noticed any sensitivity. I usually brush for about 3 minutes.

You have to be careful with anything that's overly abrasive. If you someone brushes with something like activated charcoal every day for a year, you're going to certainly do irreversible damage to the enamel of the tooth. Once enamel is brushed away, the yellow-tinged dentin beneath is revealed. Once that happens, there's nothing you can do to regain the white look of enamel, other than restoring the tooth. As with traditional whitening treatments, it's probably best to brush with activated charcoal once or twice a year.

From what I read it doesn't absorb the calcium salts that tooth enamel is made of so it shouldn't. I only use it for 5 days at a time . It does a fabulous job of whitening. Not unnatural chiclet whitening but a noticeable difference.

I've only been using my rechargeable toothbrushes, for a little over a week. So far I have not noticed any toothpaste build up, but I always make sure to rinse it well and dry it with a towel when I am through brushing. I'm on vacation now and this is the first time I've used my travel T. brush, it's much smaller, but it fits easily in my purse, which I like. My teeth feel really clean after brushing; so far so good.

Sorry I can't say to this as I have only cleaned eyeglasses (which were amazingly clean and lots of dirty water afterwards), watches and jewelry. Ask your dentist if this would be a good idea as the materials might matter which product you use.

The instructions don't say anything about that. Because the whitening (depending on the strength) is rough on tooth enamel, it does say you should brush your teeth after whitening. There is a toothpaste - Pronamel that may help). I Hope this helps.

Not at all. In fact, I would say it is better than regular toothpastes as far as protecting enamel since it doesn't have glycerin (which prevents your teeth from remineralizing.

No, some dentist haveused charcoal as a cleaner for years. Only use a couple times a week. Kills bad breath instantly.

It is kind of difficult. I used a dental tool purchased from target. However, you do not clean it too well. Small amount of flour left on it will not cause any harm.

This should not be your daily regime. Your teeth have pores, which the bleach penetrates to whiten your enamel. The more you penetrate the enamel, the more sensitive you will be. It feels like u have a cavities. Bleaching should be daily for a week periodically, not even monthly. Maybe 4-6 times per year. Coffee stains your teeth! I drink coffee occasionally. Last week, I had coffee three days. I brushed w/baking soda when I got home. You can also use peroxide when brushing. I would stay away from coffee, red wine & dark sodas as much as possible bc they stain, but they stain over time. So, it's no need to bleach daily. This should not be your daily regime.

No, it's used to strengthen enamel after using teeth whitening. Whichever teeth whitener you use it makes your teeth sensitive. This will take some of that away and strengthen your tooth enamel

No. I have crowns and amalgam fillings and I did not encounter any issues using this products. I actually started using it because of my fillings.

I have not been affected by the citric acid in this mouthwash and I have been using it for years. My dentist has not notice any change on my enamel. If in doubt ask your dentist on your next visit if you decide to use this mouthwash.

No not with this product. However, in my opinion it's important that you do not brush your teeth before you use strips. It's loosens the gums allowing cleaning product to get in gums, it burns and it's painful. After removing the strips brush carefully around the gum area. I think this is the best product on the market for the price and much better than the pricey dental office procedures.

It doesn't say anywhere if it does or not, but I use a toothpaste with no floride and I floss before I brush so I'm assuming it's ok. I been using this for yrs and this is the only one I like because it's so strong u can pull ur teeth out lol

No. It doesn't strip the enamel from your teeth, which is why store bought teeth whitening is so bad for your teeth. The activated charcoal pulls impurities from your teeth, which doesn't cause sensitivity at all.

There are only medium stiffness bristles on the DiamondClean brush heads. There is, however, a "Sensitive Mode" for gentle teeth and gum cleaning. If gums are bleeding when brushing or flossing, then that is gingivitis or periodontitis. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Electric Toothbrush is one of the best solutions for these conditions, including seeing your dental professional on a regular basis. Brushing with the DiamondClean and flossing twice a day for 3 weeks should improve gum health significantly.
